Who Is Your 401(k) Advisor?

Posted on : 04-01-2010 | By : Michael Stokes | In : 401k Planning

Is your 401(k) Advisor a Salesman or a Fiduciary? Do you know the difference?

If you are a business owner with a retirement plan, do you understand your Fiduciary Liability? Nearly all plan providers deny that they are fiduciaries. Example: “John Hancock has filed a motion to dismiss [the litigation], arguing that it is no a fiduciary…”1

If the service provider is not a fiduciary, then trustees retain all fiduciary responsibility. That means you as the business owner have full responsibility and may be sued. (You cannot hide behind the Corporate umbrella). There are currently over 1,000 lawsuits against 401(k) trustees, alleging fiduciary liability. Would you like to shift this liability to someone else?

2010 Top Performing Funds

Posted on : 04-01-2010 | By : Michael Stokes | In : Dirty Filthy Lies and 101 Truths

TRUTH #4: No one ever prints a magazine cover with NEXT year’s top performing funds.

Not even the fund companies or brokerage companies know what funds or stocks are going to do well this year. If they did, they wouldn’t NEED hundreds of funds and managers. They would have one predictably sound mutual fund. They don’t. They hedge all of their bets. They create products for you. In reality, they have no idea what the so-called experts will produce. Don’t pick funds, don’t pick managers.
